I don’t have a job. Also what is the reason why you don’t have a job? I don’t have a job, because I am lonely, and I am stressed out.

I don’t have a job, because I don’t have the focus and motivation.

I am suspended from my job because of an altercation with another co-worker. I have been with the company for almost 1 year and a half. Working is way better than receiving disability money because of the higher income.

i don’t have a job, because im afraid to lose my medicaid and i worry the stress will lead to a relapse. i enjoy my life when the weather is nice, and have family support. i may work a part time job in the future, for extra spending money, which i would spend on groceries and books.

I haven’t worked since November. I’m tired of working with dumb people. I also get stressed at jobs and I’m a perfectionist sort of.

I haven’t been able to work because of COVID,

But after I get my vaccine, I’ll be an assistant for a local artist again.

I mostly work for art and art supplies,

So it’s not typical, on the books work,

Still, it’s fun and keeps me motivated.

I used to feel that way,

Ends up,

I was the problem.

If you think everyone you work with dumb,

I’d do some introspection.

I don’t think they are all dumb but I don’t have a college education and the job market in San Francisco is rough if your not college educated. I can’t take more than one class my mental breakdown really destroyed me. The greatest job I ever had was a doorman at a hotel and I loved it but besides that all my experience is like clean up on isle 6 type work. Ya know. Everybody including managers employees and customers seem a little dumber in situations like that. There’s really good people I met too so take things I post with a grain of salt

I can only work on low dose meds I think. Worked for 10 months full time with accounting softwares in an accounting office while I was on Latuda. But the positive symptoms were a mental torture. I quit work April 2020, havent worked since then, I am still on work sickness benefits and it pays much more than disability, I think 60-80% of my salary, but it ends in Sept this year and I dont know what to do after. Maybe disability but I want to retry working.

Now that I think about it my 20s were really horrible and im 33 now. I think the jobs I worked in my 20s bring back memories of being over medicated suffering and depressed and also I got taken advantage of by a few men during that time. All my memories of working service jobs are horrible. I feel amazing now although I’m a bit burnt out but I’m looking at different options and I will not do that type of work again unless it’s absolutely the only option. I’m in a great place

I’m a part time librarian. I work 1 day a week, but that’s all they have the budget for or I would work more. I can’t handle full time.

I work full-time, five 8 hour days/week. Working can be very difficult for me, though I’ve recently been working a job I like, and that makes such a big difference.

If you want to see dumb people consider working in a liquor store. Sheesh! I would never do that job again. The only reason I stayed for several years was bc the owners were awesome people.

But OP. I haven’t worked for 8 years. Those weekly to bi-monthly depression episodes happily get in the way. Every time I get a good streak, moodwise, I get excited and think I could handle working again. My story hasn’t changed. Horrible social anxiety so working with people is not going to happen.

I can handle side hustles with my dad but talking to his clients I probably sound like a bumbling bullfrog.

:innocent:

I don’t have a job. I got on disability after speakers planted around my house were keeping me from ever getting any work done. Now after finding a med that works alright I want to use the disability to do a masters. Always wanted to go back to school but the local program has an acceptance rate of 8%. Not sure that my grades were high enough for that unfortunately. It would be so much more fun to go in person than online and I don’t really want to sell my house.
